CURRENT MISSION Wander around the South American continent, conocer, learn, experience! ABOUT ME I studied development studies (economic/community) and Spanish at Appalachian State to join the millions of students of the humanities who learned how to live, but deemed unworthy for most jobs outside of food service. Here I am, though, living away in South America and enjoying the hell out of it. I'm always trying to plug into whatever community is around and run away to nature when I can. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you folks, and I can't wait to cook, hike, climb, drink and dance with you! Best regards to my future hosts and guests, Blakeley PHILOSOPHY At the ripe old age of 22 my personal philosophy is far from fully formed, but for the sake of the surfing description I'll say I'm an agnostic and a humanist. Be well because it treats you well, do good because it'll do you good. Traveling has taught me more about our similarities than our differences.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I can't say anything I've done is truly amazing. I've travelled a fair amount around Europe, Hong Kong, the USA, and now South America. I've been rock climbing and skiing in beautiful places. I've met amazing people, tasted amazing food, had amazing friends, heard amazing music...
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a big conversationalist. Whether we're talking politics, love, religion etc. I'll sit down with anyone willing to discuss the questions that never have one, real answer.
My Interests
Climbing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, cooking, literature, film, politics, religion, music, anything outdoors. I'd quite like to learn how to surf (in a more literal sense). Dancing, drinking, all the best things.
